I also would suggest a 9' 8wt.

There are many rods out there and web is really the worst place to shop for a fly rod. I suggest you get out there and try casting some rods before you buy. Nearly every FFer is different and the only way to find a rod you really like is to actually hold it in your hand and cast it.

I know, it's a bother, but I'm guessing you really don't have a lot of money to waste. Finding a rod that works well for you the first time actually saves money (you won't end up selling it for a loss on some website because you really don't like it).

Or, if you keep it, you will be stuck with a rod that really doesn't work well for you and add to your enjoyment of the sport and sooner or later you will be in the market for another rod.

Finally, a rod that does what you need it to do will add to your ability to fish well and progress with your skills.
